The Santa Rosa Labyrinth ~ Twenty-Three Years
MARCH 15, 2020
Twenty-three turns
around the sun…
The moon kisses you each night
in all her phases,
dark, light, bright, a mere crescent
as we walk
towards your heart,
finding our own…
Twenty-three years of learning,
growing,
bending and bowing
to change.
Twenty-three years of connections
around the world
and upside down…
Walking
your twists and turns
I find myself again and again
as the mystery deepens,
I deepen
into the unknown.
Twenty-three years
of joy
in your discovery.

Labyrinths provide us with a path to practice change. Some labyrinths have withstood the passage of time for thousands of years. Others are here for just an afternoon, drawn in the sand at the edge of the ocean. Many modern labyrinths were meant to last for years, but because of unforeseen circumstances their time is shorter than intended. And they once again help us to practice letting go and giving thanks for the time they are with us. The Labyrinth of Life at the Sebastopol, California Teen Center reached such place of letting go and is at the end of one chapter and the beginning of another chapter that is yet unknown.

Sometimes... a labyrinth can take years to become a physical reality. In 2018 I met with my friend Deb, to discuss her desire to have a labyrinth on the beautiful land she lives on. Despite our plans and several meetings, listening to the land and finding the right spot, the labyrinth did not come to fruition. Fast-forward five years and in the blink of an eye... it happened!
